You might have to move the whole of that InputDevice section outside the
'### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION' to '### END DEBCONF SECTION' markers if you
want to manage it yourself.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.config is a maintainer script, not a
configuration file - I wouldn't recommend changing it.

You might also be able to use 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' and
just hit Enter for most of it? The defaults should be what you
originally selected.
